it sounds dark like the invasion from the south. A language never heard in the land of the nordics... except that nowadays orcs roam free in the west

[@barathrum3107]

Gandalf imposing himself in Black Speech was incredible. Everyone was overwhelmed, Elrond holding his head and Legolas (he seems very sensitive to Dark things like Balrogs and Black Speech) he looked like he was fainting.

[@nalkarauke]

Bara Thrum I would think black speech and whatnot would cause an elf mental pain

[@barathrum3107]

Jacob Campbell That’s what is demonstrated in the books, but Legolas really seemed sensitive to it.

[@smashedomelette]

To be honest, they could have given some context on what he was uttering because when I first watched it, it seemed like he was conjuring a spell to restore order. Granted, when i first saw it, i really liked the scene but when i started reading the book, it was made clear that those words were the Black Speech on the ring and Gandalf only uttered those words to prove a point.

[@NtoTheM]

When Azog attempts to talk to Sauron (cause let's be real, Sauron wasn't really lowering himself to really talking to some orc, he just spouted out his will and off he went again cause fuck underlings and their own dumb wishes) they've shown really nice that Sauron hears what Azog says but answers in such a way that he's simply putting out what is going to happen. For example Azog says "You promised me his head" Sauron just dismisses it as "All will die" which basically means "Well duh you moron, everyone's gonna die and that includes your inbred dwarf, I got no time for this". He responds to what Azog says but without really adressing what Azog has to say. Pretty good depiction of the difference between Sauron who's obviously the big bad and Azog, who thinks himself leagues above his paycheck.

[@paulpoumet773]

This is exactly what I look for depictions of such powerful superior immortal beings, like gods, spirits and so on. A very impersonal behaviour full of personality. In a lot of fictions, such beings behave way too much like mortals, I just can't take them seriously, but Sauron spilling facts the way a bad bitch spills the tea is pure gold. Too much distance between the gods and and the mortals they interact with feels way too impersonal and thus weak, go buy a personality on Wish. But this moment is perfect, not to close in order to feel the beyond superiority, but not to distant in order to feel the real threat.

[@IndigoIndustrial]

The ultimate in "reframing" the conversation. You ask a basic question but the person answers in a way that is a belittling lecture. Acceptable for an immortal but annoying from someone who is struggling to stay one step up in your workplace hierarchy.

[@hodgrix]

@@paulpoumet773 That's a good point, however keep in mind that during the second age, when Sauron was at his most powerful, he interacted with mortals much more directly. Such as when he was taken captive in Numenor. I think Tolkien's view of the angelic was much more spiritual than just a simple removal. Other maiar spirits lived in Middle Earth too. They did have higher power yes but much of that was in wisdom and knowledge. Not just domination which is what Sauron sought for himself in vain

[@paulpoumet773]

@@hodgrix Indeed, but at that time, Sauron was wearing a trikster mask, playing pretend of course his interactions at that time were way more direct. Same for the Istari, their mission was a secret, extremely few people know their true nature. In this video, Sauron is not hiding his divine nature and therefore speaks the way such being would speak in my opinion.

[@FromAgonyToLight]

@@高宇中 The "Great Eye" is just another form he takes, you can see him taking that form in the Hobbit, a slit of a shadow wreathed in flame. Mairon has lost much of his former power. Even when he becomes more powerful near the end of the Third Age, it pales in comparison to when he conquered almost all the lands of Middle Earth in the Second Age, and pales even further compared to Morgoth his master. Like Galadriel says, he is just a "servant of Morgoth."

The Fellowship scene of Gandalf using black speech in Rivendell is the most impactful. Masterful direction and sound design. Not only is it sparing as fuck, like its literally just a few lines, but we mainly see the character's reactions to the speech, rather than anything else. No cutaways to the eye of Sauron or anything cheesy like that. We're grounded in what's happening in Rivendell and focussed on the effects of the speech of everyone present. And the layering of the sound is crazy. Gandalf's voice speaking some otherworldly shit, but also Sauron's voice which is more sinister & subdued but definitely has an evil presence. And the laughter at the end. So good. A great example of how not showing something makes it way scarier/imposing than being explicit. Same principle in horror, don't show the shark. Leave it up to the viewers' imagination. And in this scene you're left wondering 'WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT'. Much like probably the rest of the fellowship was thinking.

Wrong. What Tolkien was writing inside the trenches was the _Book of Lost Tales_ which would eventually turn into _the Silmarillion_ which would only be published posthumously. _The Hobbit_ he didn't start working on until the end of the 20s. I also never said "he didn't have [the Black Speech] until the Silmarillion".

I like the way they did it in the hobbit, one second its deep then it goes really high pitched for a second on some words, gives it a theatrical flare.

[@rominaf3471]

I don't like Sauron's voice in The hobbit, because the actor has serious issues trying to pronounce it, and I can note that. The one who did Azog voice pronounces it much better. If you created black speech of course you have to be the best when you speak in your language.

[@mrhalfwit972]

@@rominaf3471 I mean, you try pronouncing the words

[@rominaf3471]

@@mrhalfwit972 i can do that, maybe because english isn't my native language, and i use to pronounce consonants harder, but the actor who play the role of orc (Azog?) did it very well too. It's Benedict Cumberbatch who can't.

Few people know it, since very few have survived a confrontation with all creatures who use the Black Speech, but that language is spoken with soft accent, and thin voices, and includes horrible words as: "darn it'', ''gosh'' and finally ''gosh darn it''. Those few who have survived the Black Speech are still haunted by such hideous words, having nightmares each and every night of their sad lives.

Interestingly, the name Oakenshield, whose Northmannish / Dalish equivalent is represented by the original Old Norse "Eikinskjaldi" gets a faint flavour of late Proto-(West)Germanic *Aikin[a]skelduz, when spoken in the Black Speech "Ekenskeld-u".

I think some of the parts in Dol guldur especially when sauron was speaking to galadriel he was speaking either quenya or sindarian, since galadriel is a noldor princess she can speak both.

[@dagonz1gaming844]

So, I never really understood why the Elves look like they're under pain or distress when they hear Black Speech. Or when Sauruman talks with Sauron about building an army, he looks wraped up in his robes and looks like he's in regret. Can anyone explain why this is to me? And before any of you ask, I have not read the books at all

[@teganallen7655]

I might be wrong, but I think Sauron's voice alone can cause fear in those who hear it.

[@Stri4ker21]

Sauron's voice and presence is so intimidating that cause negative feelings to others. And i think that Elves are more sensitive to Dark sorcery. .

Everyone saying he sounds more intimidating in LOTR, let’s not forget that during the Hobbit he would still be building himself up again. In LOTR he had pretty much rebuilt himself and was just making finishing touches before his assault on Middle Earth

FYI: Gandalfs black speech during the council of Elrond translates to this: "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them." It's inscribed in the One Ring.

David Salo's "yezd.." and "shrê" imply that the "Classical" Black Speech had the vowel /e/, though it's not found in the known original corpus of the language. Also, Eldarin /y-/ (as in YES-ET, the root meaning "to begin") probably often equals Orcish and Black Speech /sh-/ (Quenya _yár-a_ "old", Orcish _shar-kû_ "old man" or "old person").

[@timothyeachus7242]

Is your username in Aramaic?

[@williamwebb580]

Where did you find the spelling “yezd-”? Is there a transliteration of Salo’s dialogue somewhere or did you just listen really closely?
